Advances in Heat Transfer fills the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university-level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than in journals or texts. The articles, which serve as a broad review for experts in the field, will also be of great interest to non-specialists who need to keep up-to-date... more...

These sample questions are designed to accompany the textbook ?Thermodynamics for Mechanical Engineers.? The work develops a general, formal, and universal problem-solving strategy for approaching the sample exercises, which are presented in lucid and easily comprehensible fashion. more...

This e-book brings together selected papers from the International Conference on Computational Heat and Mass Transfer held in Paris 17-20 May 2005 (ICCHMT 05). The conference covers a relative broad spectrum of topics, ranging from applied mathematics and computational analysis to various applications and design optimization. This is a rapidly evolving... more...

Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics, Second Edition is a five-chapter text that covers some basic thermodynamic concepts, including thermodynamic system equilibrium, thermodynamic properties, and thermodynamic application to special systems.
